marvelmaniac Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 With the piece missing on the cover and the other obvious defects, color breaking creases, moderate - severe spine stress w/ multiple color breaks, spine is curled, spine roll/fanned pages, moderate to severe dust shadows on rear cover. IMO, this book without the cover piece missing is a GD 2.0 - GD/VG 3.0, however, the large piece missing is a killer, a piece missing like that is only allowed in FR 1.0, however, I feel the book overall is better than that so... 1.5 FAIR/GOOD (FR/GD): Back to TopShows substantial to heavy wear. Books in this grade are commonly creased, scuffed, abraded, soiled, and possibly unattractive, but still generally readable. Cover shows considerable wear and may be detached. Almost no cover reflectivity remaining. Book-length creases, tears and folds may be present. Rounded corners are increasingly common. Soiling, staining, discoloration and foxing is generally present. Up to 1/10 of the back cover may be missing. Tape and other forms of amateur repair are increasingly common in Silver Age and older books. Spine roll is common. May have a spine split between 2" and 2/3 the length of the book. Staples may be degraded, replaced or missing. Staple tears and stress lines are common, as well as rust migration. Paper is brown and may show brittleness around the edges. Acidic odor may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached. Interior tears are common.
